Passive to Active questions *Newbie here*

Hi,

I'm currently running:

Eclipse 8454 (Pro)

Eclipse DA7122 (1 Ch)
Eclipse Aluminum 10" (x2)

Eclipse PA5422 (4 Ch)
DA HEX S600s (x2, yes flame me lol) Passive

I got a deep discount for Eclipse.

Anyhow,

I want to switch over to an Active setup (probably in 2 weeks since I'll finally have a weekend off). I'll just be using the XO from the source unit since it's enough for non-comp use. I just wanted to make sure I had all my info correct prior to proceeding.

Re: Passive to Active questions *Newbie here*

you cant run a 4 ohm speaker to 2 ohms without another 4 ohms speaker wired in parallell.
just wire it up you had planned in the beginning. it'll be plenty of power for you.. make sure to keep the gains low on the tweeter side though.

Re: Passive to Active questions *Newbie here*

Yea, I know you have to wire 4 + 4 to get 2 ohms. I may end up doing that now.

Is it possible (on any 4 Ch amp) to run the front at 4 OHMS ( 8 + 8 on each side w/ tweeters) and run 2 ohms (4 + 4 w/ the mid drivers) ? Someone on another forum suggested that, but it sounds like it'd end up blowing something up lol
